Mysore Dasara’s festive lights were shut off early, sparking public frustration despite a 6 crore budget.
This year’s Mysore Dasara saw the early shutdown of its much-anticipated street lighting, despite a 6 crore budget, with over 80% of the festive displays switched off just days after the festival ended on October 2.
Although the 136-kilometer illumination project, managed by CESC, enhanced the city’s festive atmosphere during Navaratri and drew crowds, its abrupt termination—after only 10 days—sparked public frustration.
Critics cited poor planning, noting the lights could have been extended to coincide with Deepavali, particularly along major entry routes.
Safety measures also altered traditions, including banning rooftop viewing of the Jumboo Savari and covering the Mahishasura statue with a blue plastic skirt, contributing to a sense that the festival felt less vibrant and traditional.
